New Delhi: There is the possibility of the most terrible flood of 1000 years in many parts of America. This is due to an invisible seasonal event: atmospheric rivers. These are rivers of water that flow in the sky, which brings moisture from the sea and bring strong rains and floods on the ground. The United States Department of Meteorology (NWS) has issued a warning that indicates that these stormy winds can wreak havoc in states such as Tennessi, Kentki, Arkansas, Missouri, Indiana and Illinois.
What are atmospheric reversals?
There are long and narrow moisture currents that flow in the atmospheric reverse sky, which take the sea and pour the ground in the form of rain. They are also called ‘heavenly rivers’. In the 1990s, Mit Yong Zhu and Razinald News scientists recognized him. An average atmospheric river takes as much water as the mouth of the Mississippi river! 50% of the annual rain in the United States is due to these.
How are these ‘heavenly rivers’?
The steam arises from the tropical seas (Pacific, around Hawaii). This moisture flows along the wind and reaches the northern parts of America. Torrential rains or snowfall collide with mountains or cold areas.
Why are they dangerous?
1000 years of floods: an atmospheric reverse brings such a strong rain that rivers arise, the cities drown. Roads and houses are destroyed due to landslide in mountainous areas. In 2017, 22 people died of Ar in California.
Where can there be destruction in America?
According to NWS, this time the greatest danger is in these areas:
- Middle Mississippi Valley
- Arkansus-Luiziana-Texas area
- Tennessee coastal cities, Kentki, Missouri
Can such disasters reach India too?
Although atmospheric reverse is mainly active in North America and Europe, India also receives strong rains during the monsoon. The similar humidity currents contributed to the floods of Kerala (2018) and Uttarakhand (2013).
The atmosphere is inverse and acute due to climate change. Scientists estimate that their number can increase by 20% by 2100. There will be 30% more rain in each incident.
